My approach to therapy is a combination of talk therapy and body movement work. I provide a strengths-based and motivational interviewing approach, believing that the individual holds the answers and power regarding one’s own life. Together, we uncover the strength within by discovering what already exists but is underdeveloped. By adding the modality of body movement to coincide with an emotional concern, a client can both physically and emotionally feel a change. Being intellectually, emotionally and physically stimulated within a counseling session creates an atmosphere for greater change both inside and out. My emphasis is in work with adolescents, GLBT, depression, low self-esteem, anger and more. Please contact me through my website at www.templecounseling.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

A Colorado native, Alicia earned her masters degree in counseling at Naropa University. While pursuing her degree, she worked as a preschool teacher. Being simultaneously immersed in the worlds of counseling and childhood development was an immensely fulfilling experience, leading Alicia to pursue Play Therapy, a modality that blends these lifelong interests. Alicia has clinical experience as a therapist at Mount Saint Vincent Home in Denver, a trauma-focused residential facility for children. In her extensive experience working with children and families, play has consistently proven to be an effective and natural method of communication, authentic expression, and healing.
